At Least I Saw a Flag

Saints v Port ... terrible standard. Steel is the latter day Lenny Hayes. (Both related to the Get Smart character Simon the Likeable.)

Newman also suffered a terrible kidney injury.

I'm waiting for a HTB decision against #20 for Brisbane so the commentators can say he had "prior opportunity". (Soz, should have given dad joke alert.)

Does Reiwoldt ever stop whinging?

Indeed. Even if Demons finish top 2, having regard to covid there is absolutely no certainty of the first final being played in Melbourne. Don't know that I could bring myself to barrack for the Tigers ... Cotchin/Hardwick/Reiwoldt/Lynch ...

Abysmal performance by Freo. So annoying that they lost by so much that Jee-long gained heaps of percentage and have overtaken us.

I was Level 2 MCC N39 row C. I was rather looking forward to attending.

Hey ... don't bother watching. Switch over to Q+A ... my daughter's in the audience!!! (Only 15 in the audience.)

Agree. I hate Kennett.

My daughter and I are Supernerd's greatest fans.

Good win by Norf at Boo Stadium. If I hear anyone mention Shinboner spirit I'll spew !!! Stephenson was clear BOG.

Stephenson's playing an awesome match for Norf. What's wrong with Kelly for WC? Doesn't look interested.

I think that ridiculously priced GF corporate packages are usually available. If the Dees made the GF, and I missed out in the MCC ballot, I'd pay the extorbinant price for a ticket. Well, up to say $2,000. Might be my last chance to see a flag. (Slight exaggeration ... I'm not THAT old!!!)

Carlton are playing like Demons in their (many) bad years. Skill errors/turnovers/handballs to players under pressure. Demons have come a long way !!! Thank God we don't have to endure that any more ...

If that dive hadn't been paid as a penalty, the match would have ended in a draw. So, it would have been penalties. FWIW I'd back Italy to win a penalty shoot out every time. So I suspect that the Socceroos would have been knocked out in any event. That's not to say that the dive wasnt a dog act, and the penalty decision wasn't shocking.

So ... the full back line wasn't presumably.

Watched the replay. I really liked Max shepherding as Plugga ran into the open goal. There was a really good chase by Brayshaw (I think) in the final minute. Not sure whether he caught the PA player, but it was a good effort. Skill errors ... Viney/Harmes/ANB. Everyone else was great. BBB inclusion was obviously successful. NSS !! My good friend Blind Freddy was also calling for his inclusion weeks ago. The enjoyment of the win will extend to today ... and weekend. So different to last week's debacle.

Genuine premiership contenders don't (in general) lose 2 matches in a row. How the team deals with Port on Thursday will go a long way to showing whether the Demons are 'the real deal'.

On a news report the newsreader said that the GWS was a massive upset. Really? Was anyone here in the least surprised?

My American friend asks after each match whether the Demons or the Fuchsias turned up. Hmm, sadly it was the latter yesterday. Very poor performance. Flat from the start. It would be a massive turn around to beat Port. Can't see it happening.

Melbourne is not a team you can trust.

I was there. A very unenjoyable afternoon.

Hey, does anyone think that any of the footy shows will highlight Reiwoldt's disgusting behaviour towards an umpire after the final siren?

I hate Jee-long. Hawkins, Selwood, Dangerfield, Rowan, Scott ...

I'm going ... plus 3 friends.
